Jessica Jones 1.13

AKA Smile

- a bit more anticlimactic than I wanted it to be; I'm talking about the final confrontation between Killgrave and Jessica
- I liked that Trish got to play a bigger part in the final showdown; really hope she gets to be Hellcat
- It was nice to see Claire Temple again
- felt as if they could have or should have stretched out the escape from the hospital a little more than they did
- I thought KG had her at the end, until she looked at Trish when she said "I love you"
- I was led to believe the Punisher was going to show up in this season; I tended to believe that even though he didn't seem like a good fit for this story or this sort of villain
- that scene with Jeri Hogerth and the cops made me feel as if she may have taken or been injected with some of the genes that gave Killgrave his powers; maybe they will start to manifest next season; Jessica was definitely giving her some weird looks in that meeting
- Actually teared up a lot when Jessica killed Killgrave; felt like I could finally relax; David Tennant was the standout best performer in this season; Krysten Ritter was also quite good, as was Carrie Ann Moss

Jessica Jones 1.12

AKA Take a Bloody Number

- pretty damn good
- lots of Luke Cage in this episode; no Simpson or Hogarth; plus Killgrave is back!
- it takes most of the episode but Jessica and Luke track down Killgrave; actually he finds them in the end and turns Luke against Jessica; she has to use a shotgun to stop him
- Patsy's mother shows up again; turns out that the folks who were behind Simpson's transformation also helped Jessica when she was younger; Patsy's Mom is the one who provides this nugget
- a number of scenes with Luke partially undressed
- enjoyed the fight scenes; not quite at a level with Daredevil but still good; the scene where Killgrave almost has his father mutilate his own hand was intense
- David Tennant is awesome; I assume that Killgrave is going to die in the finale
- I think the Punisher is going to show up in the next episode; although the description is kind of ambiguous

Jessica Jones 1.11

AKA I've Got the Blues

- no Killgrave
- Simpson/Nuke is back causing more trouble; he has clearly gone around the bend
- Trish takes some of his pills, then fights him, then almost dies from withdrawal symptoms
- Simpson gets carted away, after he has been knocked out, by some government types
- Jessica and Trish know that Simpson/Nuke is responsible for killing the detective
- more flashbacks, this time to Trish and Jessica's shared adolescence
- they certainly did make a lot out of showing Simpson/Nuke take the pills; both images and sounds
- overall not as good as the last couple episodes, probably because Killgrave wasn't in it; the ending also wasn't as compelling as the last couple
- Luke Cage Returns

Jessica Jones 1.10

AKA 1,000 Cuts

- dealing with the aftermath of Killgrave's escape
- a few more people are murdered: detective, Wendy, Hope
- Simpson came back sooner than I thought he would, by that I mean showed up, not recovered sooner
- Killgrave's father develops an antidote which seems to work
- Hope gets out of prison and then commits suicide, which seemed sudden but was not totally unexpected considering her mood
- liked the flashback scene on the rooftop; two perspectives
- Jessica is immune to Killgrave, and apparently he knew before she knew
- Not sure why Hogarth's new squeeze showed up at Wendy's place just in time to save her and kill Wendy; maybe I missed something
- the scene in the diner wasn't my favorite (upstairs neighbor recruiting people to her cause) but it definitely had reprocussions
- still enjoying it; still doesn't seem too long
- the scene where Wendy was trying to kill Hogarth and counting the cuts: creepy!

Jessica Jones 1.09

AKA Sin Bin

- the one where Jessica has Killgrave locked up for most of the episode but can't get him to confess; she tries a number of things, for a long while Killgrave refuses to use his powers, he knows he is being taped and doesn't want to give away his secret powers
- Hogarth is seriously tempted to release Killgrave and almost does, but Jessica returns abruptly
- the secret of Simpson is finally revealed: he is going to become Nuke (Daredevil: Born Again); I knew or suspected that something was up with him after last episode but it wasn't until the doctor was explaining to him about the pills (red, blue, white) that I figured it out
- Killgrave escaped because of Trish; I figured that glass was bulletproof but she proved me wrong
- finding his parents was convenient but it also added an interesting layer to this episode
- very glad that they didn't take the easy way out with this episode; David Tennant was great; loved how Killgrave changes over the course of this one
- looks like Jessica just discovered that Killgrave's power does not work on her anymore (at the end of the episode)

Jessica Jones 1.08

AKA WWJD?

- Loved this episode although it didn't impress me at first
- Lots of Jessica and Killgrave
- Loved the twist at the end of the episode, although maybe I should have seen it coming
- Not sure how Simpson evaded detection all that time; planted the bomb, snuck into the house, etc.
- Is Simpson dead? Probably not.
- Interesting seeing Killgrave go along with Jessica and do a good deed
- More of Jessica's background and Killgrave's
- Chinese food, Patsy Walker, Hogarth & Wendy, iPhone typing

Jessica Jones 1.07

AKA Top Shelf Pervert

- Jessica tries to get herself locked up but Killgrave steps in and prevents the police from locking her up
- Killgrave says he's in love with Jessica! WTF! Don't believe him! He's nuts!
- Officer Mahoney from Daredevil makes an appearance
- Trish and Will are back
- Ruben gets killed by Killgrave and left in Jessica's bed
- Killgrave sneaks into Jessica's apartment
- Jessica threatens Wendy, Jeri Hogarth's wife, whom Hogarth wants to divorce
- bit of an inbetweener, a lot happens but not much resolution
- What's up with Will? Why hasn't he told Trish he found Killgrave? Is he trying to protect her or is he under Killgrave's spell?

Jessica Jones 1.06

AKA You're a Winner!

- Luke Cage returns, needs help finding someone
- in the end Jessica is forced to reveal that she killed his wife
- Interesting developments in the original case involving Hope and Jeri; abortion; jail house violence; salvaging fetal material
- Killgrave moves into Jessica's childhood home
- No Patsy Walker
- still enjoying it; still doesn't feel too long

Jessica Jones 1.05

AKA The Sandwich Saved Me

- still good, still dark
- nice use of flashbacks as exposition
- I didn't really think their attempt to kidnap Killgrave would be successful, way too early in the season for that
- loved the moment when the episode title enters the story; it was probably the only light moment, I had to laugh
- David Tenant is chilling

Jessica Jones 1.04

AKA 99 Friends

- still not perfect but I really liked this episode
- big focus on Jessica's paranoia about Killgrave
- the cop comes back, looks like he may be a future love interest for Patsy Walker, or maybe he will get killed
- support groups
- someone tries to kill Jessica, completely unrelated to Killgrave but ties back to something that happened in the 1st episode
- freaky scene with little girl who was under Killgrave's control
- no Killgrave or Luke Cage

Jessica Jones 1.03

AKA It's Called Whiskey

- Still enjoying it but Daredevil set a level of expectations when it comes to the fight scenes that this show has yet to rise up to
- the other major problem is with the Luke/Jessica relationship; it just feels as if they are going through the motions but I just ain't feeling it
- favorite moment was when I finally made the connection that Jessica's friend Trish is none other than Patsy Walker (aka Hellcat in the comics); blew me away, can't wait to see what they do with her
- really liked the scene where Jessica trails the cop to the apartment where Killgrave is staying and the confrontation that follows
- I also like how they are slowly revealing Jessica's past; in this episode its the reveal that Killgrave made her kill Luke's wife/girlfriend
- I'm still digging it and still watching, hard to say overall how it compares to DD at this point
- David Tenant is great; also like the whole story with the firl from episode 1 who is now in prison for killing her parents

Jessica Jones 1.02

AKA Crush Syndrome

- not quite as dark but still on the dark side
- Luke Cage: both how he was introduced (ep 1) and his controntations with Jessica in this episode seem a little forced; his acting isn't quite doing it for me but I'm curious to see how the relationship evolves and is portrayed
- the meeting with the former bus driver who is missing both kidneys taken by Killgrave
- the tension: really starting to feel like Killgrave could strike at any time
- last two scenes: (1) introduction of Killgrave, don't see his face, just hear his voice; lives up to his reputation; (2) last meeting between Cage and Jessica; him laying his cards on the table

Jessica Jones 1.01

AKA Ladies Night

- dark, powerful
- not great but still there is a lot here that I like
- use of PTSD; hallucinations
- the ending: everything is good and then it isn't; she starts to run and then she turns and decides to stand her ground
- very impressive
